What: During tough economic times, it’s vital for companies to optimize the growing online marketplace and optimize customer interactions. Coral8 is hosting a Webcast focused on innovative new technologies to help companies foster customer loyalty and drive more business in 2009.

Forrester Research estimates that U.S. online retail commerce will reach $335 billion in 2012, comprising 11% of the total market.1 Forrester also reports that the web will influence well over $1 trillion of in-store sales.2 Such market influences are leading many organizations to closely examine and optimize how they interact with customers across all channels.

This webcast will explain how companies can utilize rich untapped interaction sources – web, call center, ATMs, kiosks and more – to read and react to customer needs to drive faster purchasing decisions, cross-sell and up-sell products or services, and increase customer loyalty.

Join Coral8 for an interactive Webcast with featured guest James Kobielus, senior analyst at Forrester Research, and John Morrell, vice president of product marketing at Coral8, Inc., where they will explore:
